Buffon and Donnarumma - Italy National TeamFormer AC Milan and Italy star Demetrio Albertini challenged Gianluigi Donnarumma to match Gianluigi Buffon's achievement as he became the successor to the legend on the Azzurri.

Donnarumma is currently Buffon's coat on the team, where Juventus players collect his 171 caps when the team wins over Israel.

Albertini felt that Milan goalkeeper Donnarumma was ready to play Buffon's role, but he asked him to be patient.

However, he asked Gigio to be able to match the achievements Buffon so he got a chance later.

"Donnarumma is definitely ready to replace Buffon," Albertini said at Omnisport.

"Buffon, meanwhile, is still not ready to leave football, too early, we have two top goalkeepers, one of whom has a lot of experience - one of the greatest goalkeepers in history, and while Buffon has the motivation to play it is okay for us to keep it . "

"And the future of the national team will be bright with Donnarumma, I'm sure he is a great goalkeeper and a great talent."

"He has to work hard to be able to record history and be worthy of Buffon."

While Agent Mino Raiola revealed that Italy coach Giampiero Ventura lacked enough character to get rid of Gianluigi Buffon and play Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Azzurri.

However, some claim that the appointment of Donnarumma as Italy's main goalkeeper should be faster, especially after they were beaten by Spain some time ago. But Raiola says that Ventura will not do that.

"As an agent of Donnarumma, I would certainly be happy if he became a starter for the national team, I can hardly say otherwise, it would make me a hypocrite," he said.

"What do you think of Ventura? I will not hide it, I think he's lost his orientation, he's really panicked, I do not understand what he's doing anymore," he continued.

"I do not think he has enough character to orbit a young player like Donnarumma and get rid of a national team talisman like Buffon.Ventura also has other young players to be orbited," he said.
